Chapter 38: The Basement

Noon.

The snow has been clear for a long time.

Sunlight shone obliquely through the small window in the basement, shining the dust floating in the basement.

When the fifth building woke up, she found herself lying on a wooden bed in the corner of the room, and the basement was dark, damp and cold, but fortunately she was covered with a quilt.

The quilt was new, but the bed was old, and it smelled of rotting boards, and it was obvious that no one had been to this place for a long time, and even a few tenacious weeds could be seen in the cracks in the bluestone floor under the small window.

As soon as the fifth Xiaolou opened his eyes, his hand had already touched under the pillow before he was conscious.

She has developed a subconscious habit in the past six months, which is a very good habit for a swordsman, for a swordsman, no matter when and where he can't leave his sword.

But there was no sword under the pillow, and she only touched the uneven plank.

When she reached out to touch the sword, a tingling pain from her right shoulder immediately woke her up, she suddenly sat up and lifted the quilt, gritted her teeth and covered the wound on her right shoulder with her left hand, only then did she realize that the wound on her right shoulder had been carefully bandaged, and even her own clothes had been changed.

The clothes will never be changed by herself, and the clothes will never run to her on their own.

Her pupils gradually contracted, as if she realized something, and suddenly jumped up from the bed like a spring, and the violent movement made her right shoulder more painful, and even a trace of blood oozed from it.

However, she did not show a painful expression, but let out a long sigh of relief, and she was secretly glad that all parts of her body were still intact except for the tingling pain from her right shoulder.

But the environment in her eyes didn't make her happy at all, her right hand was injured and she was imprisoned in the basement, now anyone can do whatever she wants, and more importantly, Aji Jian is not by her side, which means that she can't make any resistance, thinking of this, she can't help but shudder.

She has half of her martial arts in that set of swordsmanship, and half of her martial arts in Aji's sword.

She didn't know if other swordsmen would learn some martial arts with their bare hands, she only knew that if she didn't have a sword in her hand, she would just be an ordinary person who could do light skills.

Can you just stay in this place and let others slaughter her? But who wasted so much effort just to catch her, how can she be a fledgling newcomer?

Fifth Xiaolou immediately thought of Li Ji, after all, she only had an enmity with Li Ji, but this revenge of killing her son, Li Ji might not be able to help but kill her when he saw her, how could he imprison her, and he didn't even touch her, but carefully bandaged the wound and let him heal?

Could it be that Li Ji has any special fetishes?

Thinking of this, the fifth Xiaolou couldn't help but shudder, she had heard of those rich and powerful people when she was in Yanyu Building, playing women's tricks one after another.

But how could Li Ji have such strength, just to deal with the fifth small building, he was able to lure all the people of the Divine Capture Mansion away.

Fifth Xiaolou couldn't figure it out, so he could only sigh, only feeling that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated now, and he didn't know when he would get into trouble with any boss.

It's just that who she gets into trouble isn't the most important thing to worry about now, what she needs to care more about now is how to escape from this place and find her sword again.

Under the bed is a new pair of deerskin booties.

The boots were as new as the clothes, and she felt so fit that they had been made for her during the time she had passed out.

The fifth building immediately ran to the iron-cast door and shouted, "Is anyone there?"

No one came, no one responded.

The fifth Xiaolou shouted a few more words, but unfortunately no one responded, shouting was a very consuming thing, and she suddenly felt very hungry.

It was only then that the fifth small building began to take a good look at the basement where she was imprisoned, the whole basement was not large, but it was by no means small, and on the top of the basement was a small, deep window, and the sun was shining through the window, shining on a table under the window.

It's a wonderful place, and at least you can see that it's been carefully arranged, and not only does it have wine, but it also has a very delicate dressing table, and there are several equally delicate dishes on the table where the wine is placed.

The dish is still hot.

As soon as the fifth small building sat down, he immediately began to eat. I don't know how long she has been in a coma, she was too hungry when she woke up, and she didn't care if the wine and food were poisonous, if she wanted to kill her, she could do it when she was unconscious, there was no need to poison the food.

Therefore, the fifth Xiaolou eats quickly and is also very relieved, and she urgently needs food to recover her strength now. Fortunately, there were not only chopsticks but also spoons on the table, which did not allow her to grasp the food with her hands.

When the fifth Xiaolou was immersed in eating, there were also two people watching her bury her head in eating through the small hole.

Li Ji clenched his fists tightly, every muscle in his body was trembling, and his voice was trembling: "Your Highness, he really caught this slut!"

The killer enemy was right in front of him, and he really wanted to rush in and kill the fifth small building at this time.

The crow said coldly: "Are you questioning Your Highness?"

Li Ji immediately smiled and said, "Don't dare, of course I believe Your Highness, but I'm still a little surprised." ”

The crow said: "Give the things to Your Highness tomorrow, and she will be yours." ”

"But" Li Ji actually hesitated, and then said flatteringly: "I don't know if His Highness is still dissatisfied with those girls last night?"

The raven did not answer, and was staring at him coldly.

Li Ji smiled reluctantly: "I heard that His Royal Highness also likes to collect ink treasures, I have a few masterpieces of Master Li Ya, I don't know Your Highness"

A sneer suddenly interrupted him, and the crow was sneering, and a sneer was sometimes a refusal.

Yuwen Shang doesn't like people who talk a lot, and the crow naturally can't be a person who talks a lot, and when he can't speak, he will never speak.

Li Ji finally stopped smiling, and said lightly: "I want to talk to His Highness face to face." ”

The crow said: "Your Highness has only one purpose, you should know it." ”

Li Ji sighed and said, "Of course I know. ”

The crow said: "Therefore, if you can satisfy Your Highness, Your Highness will never let you down." ”

Now it was Li Ji's turn not to speak, and he hung his head, as if he was making a very difficult decision.

After a long time, the crow said slowly: "Wait in the study tomorrow, Your Highness will naturally come to you." ”

Li Ji immediately raised his head, but before he could laugh, he heard the crow slowly continue: "You'd better bring what Your Highness wants, otherwise what will be the consequences, you don't need me to remind you." ”

After the crow said this, he walked out, he didn't look at what Li Ji's expression would be next, and he wasn't interested in seeing it at all.

There are not many things in this world that can interest him, but it is by no means nothing, collecting famous swords is his biggest hobby, isn't this every swordsman's hobby?

There was a lamp on the table, and a sword.

The light was dim, the room was dim, but the sword body reflected a dazzling white light.

The word Aji can be faintly seen at the end of the hilt.

The crow sat at the table and stared at the Aji Sword, a short sword that he couldn't even touch, and in just a few breaths of time when the sword was unsheathed, the piercing sword aura seemed to freeze his veins.

He had brought the sword back with a rope, but it was clear that he could not use the rope to make the sword forever.

It feels like the coveted wealth is placed in front of you, and you don't have the key, and of course he knows whose key it is, so he decides to do something about it before the man dies.

As night fell, it became dark in the basement.

The fifth small building lay on the bed, panting slightly, and his eyes were always staring at the small window in the basement, only a glimmer of light came in there, making the basement seem less dark.

She spent an afternoon touching every corner of the basement, and she didn't know how many times she moved everything that could be moved back and forth in the basement.

But even such a detailed search did not allow her to find the secret door.

The fifth building was now convinced that there was no secret door in this basement, only the door made of fine iron could be entered.

But the key is not in her, but in the crow.

It was as if the two of them were carrying the keys that the other wanted.

Fifth Xiaolou couldn't bear to be someone's plaything like this, so she stood up unwillingly, and was about to touch all the things in the basement that couldn't be moved again.

At this moment, a sudden "squeak" sound was heard, and the door was suddenly opened, and before the fifth small building could react, it heard a "squeak" sound again, and the door was immediately closed.

Almost at the same time that the door closed, a residual lamp suddenly lit in front of the table, and a man in black was seen sitting at the table in the fifth small building, and she immediately recognized that the man in black was the killer hiding under the floor!

It's so fast, it's so strong.

No matter how you look at this iron-cast door, it weighs hundreds of pounds, but it was opened by him in one breathing room, and closed in another breathing room, the fifth Xiaolou now only feels that this person is by no means an easy person to deal with, especially when Aji Sword is not in hand, she has no room to fight back.

The crow suddenly said, "Sit." ”

Fifth Xiaolou obviously didn't know what he wanted to do, so he decisively sat on the bed far away from him, and said, "Who are you?"

The crow was looking at her and said lightly, "It doesn't matter who I am. ”

The fifth Xiaolou said: "You took my sword?"

The crow said: "I have always had the habit of collecting famous swords. ”

The fifth Xiaolou immediately stood up and said loudly, "That's my sword!"

The crow smiled and said, "But tomorrow it will be mine." ”

Fifth Xiaolou gritted his teeth and said word by word: "What do you mean by this?"

The crow looked at her with a strange expression in his eyes, and smiled, "You have two choices now. ”

The fifth small building said: "What choice?"

The crow didn't speak, just stood up slowly, and slowly walked towards the fifth small building.
